I like to pursue men in my car, while driving at an unsafe speed

Hey I'm looking for a codriver for the Targa rally. You sound like you would fit the bill. I would prefer a women because they are better at giving men directions on were to go.

Oh, Nod's good at giving directions, alright, but you might think twice about following them.

*sigh*

Do I have to explain the dynamics of this thread all over again???

Nah, its ok, you got the info, use it or don't, its up to you.

What you can do though is take the info and ask the ladies in your church, youth groups, etc. what they think, and the number one test is to ask God what does He think about all this.

As I said, its up to you.

Peace out ;)

A guy either likes you or he doesn't. Games are a wait of time.

Some guys like you instantly and some guys take a while to get to like you...agree or disagree?

I think most guys decide within 5 mins of talking to you whether they are interested in getting to know you better or not. And if they decided WITHOUT talking to you, that would mean they are going by looks alone. Not good. Then again, I don't date strangers in any event.

Well, I can tell you now that guys do go for looks too even though they say they go purely for personality, and women do the same.

I bet there are plenty of guys in your church or workplace that have great personalities and would make an excellent husband to you but they just don't pass your expectation of what you are looking for in a guy where looks are concerned...and I bet that a few names came to your mind now.

Nothing wrong with it, its good to marry someone you are physically attracted to provided they have the personality to suit.

And some guys do size you up within 5 minutes just like women do (I'm speaking in general), but sometimes we dismiss a woman and then later find out there's something about her that attracts us to them, maybe by something she did or by us getting to know her personality more, etc.

A great pastor once told me that every couple has their own love story, some fell inlove instantly, some took weeks, months and even years to get together, but the most important thing is that you have found someone that can satisfy all the marriage requirements of building a healthy and successful marriage with.

I didn't say or mean that looks don't matter at all. :) Only that if a guy (or lady) makes up his/her mind whether he/she wants to get to know you without even talking with you, it implies that he/she decided upon looks alone. And I can't imagine that type of guy/lady being the sort of person I would be interested in getting to know.

And I agree with the great pastor. :)

Most ladies can tell you that there are guys who will walk up and ask you for your phone number, etc. without even talking with you, as if you were a slab of meat hanging in a butcher shop window. Happens every few days in the real world and even in Christian chatrooms. Unless a guy actually takes some time to talk with you before doing that, are they really worth getting to know? I can’t imagine a relationship like that being of value, which is why I’m online in a Christian forum rather than hanging out in a bar or somewhere. And it’s exactly why I don’t date strangers. But I can only speak for myself. :)

Look, every action depends on the intention of the heart, if a guy walks up to you and asks your number with good intentions then theres nothing wrong with giving it to him, especially if he met you at an event where he knows he wont see you again.

then again there are plenty of situations where a guy courted a woman in a church "holy" setting over a period of time and married the girl only for her to find out what a slimeball he is...for example: a friend of mine was dating this guy a few years back, he was the most spiritual guy you can get, he preached fantastically, always had a word of encouragement for everyone, was involved in ministry, etc, they eventually got married and two years into their marriage she fell ill and went to the doctor. The doctor told her it was a STD, not HIV but a curable disease. She wondered where it came from and the Doc told her to ask her husband, that night she asked her husband and he immediately confessed that he has been sleeping with prostitutes since before they got married until that very day. What hurt her the most was that she said that there was absolutely no indication that he was into those things, he was a loving husband and took care of all her needs...she eventually divorced him coz he made another woman pregnant.

So it still comes down to if you have found someone you can rely on to have a good marriage, not really the circumstances under which you have met the person (well there is dodgy situations).

For all of the ladies who are willing to give out their phone numbers and other personal information to some random guy who asks you online or off without having the decency to at least tell you a little bit about himself or find out a little about you first, I'll be praying for your chastity and personal safety. God bless you. :)

Girls/lady's just don't realize how great it is for a guy when they actually ask them out. Because believe it or not, none of us know all the rules to hooking up. And it gets tiresome at times having to be the ones to take the first step. Its relieving actually. If theres a guy your interested in please just ask. You'd be surprised at what may happen. When a girl asks a guy out it automatically lets us know that they actually have the heart to try and get together. And if we decide to say yes theres a better chance (for me at least) for a longer and better relationship. Plus nowhere in the ten commandments does it say that guys HAVE to ask first. It's still killing me to find out where that rule came from.

Eh... I think clarity is a really good thing. Games are not good. I've willingly put myself on the line to accept rejection from a guy... it wasn't so bad. In fact, it was relieving. Nonetheless, since that time... I've realized I'm worth someone pursuing me. Someone strong enough to pursue and take the lead (and I must be open to that pursuit) - even so, I feel like a list such as this should come naturally if I like a guy. I should automatically be interested in what he's saying - I'm interested in him, right? I should be making eye contact... it's what I do. I should be laughing because he'd best be funny if I like him... It shouldn't be an act or a list of protocol to follow. Are we robots? Can we only function when given direction like this? I sure hope not.

Meh. I will stop babbling now.
